My dog is 11 !/2 yrs and is now diabetic. I am an RN and was not intimidated at all with doing home blood testing. However I have found that these test strips need more blood than I sometimes can produce with a lance poke. I would like to see the company working on a device that could use less blood.
I FOUND IT VERY EASY TO USE THESE STRIPS HOWEVER WHEN DOING THE CONTROL TEST WHEN YOU OPEN A NEW BOTTLE I CONTAMINATED THE SOLUTION. THE DIRECTIONS DID NOT EXPLAIN THAT. BUT I CALLED THE COMPANY AND THEY WERE VERY NICE AND PROFESSIONAL WITH ME AND SENT ME 2 NEW BOTTLES OF SOLUTION AND A FREE BOTTLE OF TEST STRIPS. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE COMPANY AND MY MACHINE IS WORKING GREAT.
I have found with my dog that the best place is his lip. I am able to get enough blood there for the meter to register a blood level. When I tried his pads I did not get enough blood.
The blood sample can be taken from different spots including the ear or the elbow of the dog. You can check with your veterinarian to see what he/she typically recommends.
